I like them.
I'm really big on artistic nude photography. I can't wait to get into it once I gain more photo experience!
Beautiful!
No offense here, these made me smile! For two reasons, #1 obviously because you are insanely beautiful with your pregnant belly, and because I was happy to see that in the background your bedroom is respectably untidy (although not quite as untidy as mine). ;)
We didn't take naked belly pics when I was pregnant, and I have often regretted it...at the time though we were just too shell-shocked at the idea of having twins to think of doing it.
Don't apologize. These are beautiful, as are you.
thank you everyone :) Evangeline (one of my favorite names ever) we left it messy on purpose, exactly! i am writing/shooting a series i'm calling scenes from a marriage and the point is gritty honesty. xo
Offensive? No. But quite beautiful. I love the intimacy.
stunning.
Love.
Lovely. Truly.
I thought Mr Curry's hand on your belly was a tattoo. Would be a cool tattoo to have. How many weeks now?
i'm 15 weeks! go biggie pea :)
Beautiful.
All three of you.aninelat
Boobies and babies, what's not to love?
I have one last belly pick to take of my wife, and it will be the mother of all belly pics.
Freakin' FABULOUS!
I cannot imagine who would find these offensive. These are beautiful. Wish I was as brave.
beautiful and thanks for sharing these lovely real images!
Gritty, honest, and very beautiful. Oh, by the way, my vote is for Phoebe. (Biggie P?) ♥
Love the pregnant belly, body, entire kaboodle you. You speak love and nurture and positive energy.
We did pregnant pictures with all our pregnancies and if our house burned, I'd run and grab those first.
PS: Would love to hear more about your tattoos...
I love it -- so beautiful and so ethereal, really. The only thing I'm wondering, though, is how could that body have already birthed three babies? YOU are an amazingly beautiful woman.
girl, you rock it! Loved it!
Offense at what exactly? Nevermind, they are lovely, lovely photos!
Stunning! Thats all I have to say.x
Hi Maggie,
Your body is beautiful, pregnancy is beautiful, and emotions are beautiful- but just some words of caution- once you publish, you really have no control. People can copy and crop and change at will, the interpretation of your images. (It's not too late to pull them, and get them out of public search engines.) I like the one of your husband's hand on your belly the most, and both "belly" photos remind me of being pregnant, a time in my life I loved. I only have one picture of my belly, at about eight months- just my belly, with my arms and hands placed at strategic angles- I wish I had more, and that my face was in it, but I'm glad I have at least the one photo- pregnancy is a lovely shape!
wonderful photos.
the body of a woman bearing life is so fantastic. magical....
I love your gut wrenching honesty, something I truly admire. I can't see how these pictures could possibly be offensive, they are just beautiful! and your post on girl culture is just spot on!.. thankfully, here in Ireland, political correctness/abject fear, hasn't reached the same levels.. yet. Hope the tooth is being sorted.. and all good things to all of your clan and yourself :-D
Beautiful photos, Maggie May. So much hope and love in those hands tenderly laid on your tummy. 15 weeks! That's great.
(anyone who finds these pix offensive needs to have a long talk with their mother)
Marriage is a beautiful mess. Is that the essay?:)
Amen, beautiful sister/beautiful wife/beautiful mother/beautiful woman.
Gorgeous. These are completely timeless.
Really? I thought they were lovely.
p.s. In Ontario, it's legal for women to go topless in public. So ... no big deal.
These are so beautiful and intimate. Thanks for sharing.
Hi~
Offended? Your pictures are breathtaking Maggie May. I've wanted to comment before (so many times), but I'm intimidated by your writing and always feel like I'm stammering (although I did get up the courage to privately email you when you first became pregnant).
Anyway, your honest writing both repels me and draws me in. Sometimes it hurts to read, but the feelings you articulate, they make me feel less "other", and that makes the discomfort so worth it. I think you are incredibley gifted, and I feel grateful to have stumbled into your online world. Thank-you for all the hard work you have done to become the person you are, despite what has been handed to you. I think you are amazing.
Peace~
Karen
The photos are lovely and so are you, dear Maggie.
Screw the new Puritans.
loves it
I'd have thought anyone scared off by a little honesty would be long gone m'dear.
Congrats! 15 weeks! And you look hamazing :D
These are gorgeous, apology unnecessary.
I liked it. It's real and it's you and this blog is YOURS. I admire you.
Grow baby!
Lose followers? It's practically chaste. Very tasteful, honest, beautiful. This is a win.
I love the grainy black and white, and the messy bedroom, and your hair all over the place. To me the pictures are very sexy in their intimacy. And of course because you look fantastic.
All beautiful photos, but something about the first one makes me a bit sniffly. In a goof way.
that first picture, in particular, is AMAZING. so so beautiful.
le sigh.
(although i really want to organize your dresser for you and find a spot for everything. then again, i reorganize my closets for fun.)
xoxo
Lovely. Scenes from a marriage. Endless opportunity there.
Beautiful. Love. Real.
I absolutely love that first one (they're all great though). I wish I had taken more photos when I was pregnant, especially ones that capture this type of intimacy. They're beautiful. I think you'll really cherish them down the line.
lovely maggie!!
LOVELY!!! You are a beautiful pregnant woman, and I LOVE the mess in the background and his hand on your belly and just EVERYTHING. Beautiful post!
The series is brilliant...the photos are beautiful! Can't wait to see more :)
I love them, they're absolutely stunning. I know I'll never have another baby belly like that, and I feel honored when people let me into their worlds to see theirs. Thank you!
<3 this!!!!!
Just his 33 weeks. Good luck! And yes...capture every moment!
Gorgeous photos. So glad the pregnancy is progressing well.
Ahhh, you brave girl...
I have been a big fan of your honesty and ability to put every last ounce of your heart and soul out there for the world to see and ponder. Wish I could do the same. I have a blog dedicated to my children and one waiting in the wings without a single post because I am too afraid to put it all out there. Not sure how to handle judgment I guess...
How could anyone find a pregnant woman and the apparent love of a man for his woman "offensive"? Beautiful!
Grow, baby, grow!
I can't imagine what would be offensive about these photos. They are really quite beautiful.
I think you look beautiful. I love that you're both in them.
Go Biggie Pea!
those are absolutely amazing. truly.
seriously, you didn't need the disclaimer. This is raw beauty captured in a photo. It has been happening since the dawn of time...from caveman drawings until now. (we ARE all naked under our clothes)
Kate we are actually not considering any P names for girls :) It's just Biggie Pea just because :)
Thank you all for having my back. I'm sure some don't but so far they aren't commenting ;)
incredibly beautiful.
Not only are these incredibly interesting shots (I love the contrast: masculine/feminine, soft/gritty) but they are beautiful.
And, after seeing how amazing you look having already given birth to three children, and pregnant with your fourth, I am going to find my secret stash of chocolate-covered peanut butter crackers and drown my chunky pregnant sorrows away! ;)
So gorgeous. And I feel privileged to have seen them.
Nothing offensive here at all. I thought this was beautiful. You look radiant.
Oh wow. I think more would be as brave if we were nearly as beautiful. Yay for bellies and boobies, daddies, mommies, and Biggie Peas (and beautiful art)!
Brave, beautiful and real...
maggie, these pics are soooo pure and beautiful!!
i love you. and yes, be careful with publishing, it is the outside world...
yolanda
Oh the bliss of being able to show these to your baby when he /she is able to absorb their beauty..
Glorious!
Such an intimate, beautiful moment.
Like a whisper.
Wish I'd done the same a hundred years ago when I was in my twenties and blooming with child.
You are a revelation Maggie May...
xxx elle
Beautiful Mags! You are multi-talented!
I can't wait to see the complete series.
Good to see Biggie Bean growing so nicely too. Please give him/her a pat/rub for me.
Peace,
pf
Meh, small minded prudes would find these offensive, in which case who CARES if they don't come here anymore? I read but rarely comment, so I wanted to let you know that I think these are beautiful.
Bravo! Well done...
Beautiful and inspirational.
xo
Andrea
I can only add to the chorus that the pictures are gorgeous. Go biggie pea!!!
beautiful. really beautiful.
gorgeous, Maggie May. Each one tells it's own story
xo
I love the photos. I am most taken with those dresser drawers and your breasts.
Stunning.
I'm going to be the voice of dissent here. I am offended.
That you could be over the age of thirty, in your second trimester, be your own photographer and look like THAT!
You want gritty honesty? Talk your boobs down from their high and mighty perky pedestal.
Then come on over with your camera and see "untidy" and "womanly curves" (although not pregnant and not pointing up).
I want so much to hate you for looking so fabulous. Why do you have to be so wonderful?
You go girl!
Millie ^_^
Gorgeous! Here via Miss Grace. ;)
I love them. Beautiful LIGHT. And I'm taking your "accepting losses of followers gracefully" concept as a mantra.
Lovely pregnant photos!
It's so sweet to see your pregnant belly. These are tender pictures; surely the only negative emotion they could inspire would be envy.
Look at you two, glowing around biggie pea. These are truly treasures, Maggie. Gorgeous.
You have done a very tasteful and artistic job with these photos. To hell with anyone who finds them offensive. They are beautiful and so is your family.
Wow. You are a very talented woman. And beautiful. Good for you.
was wondering how you looked! insanely gorgeous.
love love.
I will NEVER regret taking my artistic nudes while pregnant with my little one, and I plan on taking even more next time I am pregnant.
again
love them
beautiful maggie! Hx
"I think I have the same camera." is the ridiculous comment I almost left. Stupid Aspberger's. These are beautiful, Maggie.
Kurt! You made my day with that comment, thank you for the HUGE smile
! xo
Lovely. Almost makes me want to be pregnant again. Almost...
More to come I hope.
Most beautiful.... can't wait to see more
